"I truly wasn't expecting to come across so much Greco-Roman mythology in a primary source from medieval England. I almost felt that I was back to reading the Aeneid or another of the classic mythology poems." Feb 07, 2026 02:22PM

Book cover for Robin Hood: A True Legend
It is remarkable how so much of the Robin Hood legend stems from so little. In effect, the whole mythology originates from a few mid and late fifteenth-century ballads and some later sixteenth-century renditions of the tale.

Benjamin Franklin
“If we look back into history for the character of present sects in Christianity, we shall find few that have not in their turns been persecutors, and complainers of persecution. The primitive Christians thought persecution extremely wrong in the Pagans, but practised it on one another. The first Protestants of the Church of England, blamed persecution in the Roman church, but practised it against the Puritans: these found it wrong in the Bishops, but fell into the same practice themselves both here and in New England.

[Letter to the London Packet, 3 June 1772]”
